Service menu info wanted!

[fraggle]

Hi everyone,

I'm going to try to create a single repository for all things "service menu" related.

This will include things like
* How to access them
* What you'll find in there
* What NOT to touch
* Blank templates for printing off and writing down the existing values
* A general description of what the various controls do

But you moderator needs YOU !!!

If you have details of how to access a service menu, or know of a link to a web page detailing such, have details or pictures of any service menus, anything at all service menu related, can you please email them to me at servicemenus@ukrm.co.uk.

Thanks people!

and what is also needed is a good explanation of the terms eg TRAPEZ and so on.

Good luck.

Hi, we get lots of calls from customers who've had Sony DAV-SXXX home-cinema-in-a-box systems upgraded to multi-region. They usually connect to the TV set with an S-video to SCART lead, as the DAV systems don't have RGB or SCART. The problem is that a lot of Sony sets won't accept NTSC on the S-video input so when playing NTSC material the picture is rubbish. There is a setting in the service menu which allows you to turn on 'Auto detect NTSC on Y/C' and this always sorts it out.

We usually direct customers to this rather informative site, even if it is a bit difficult to navigate...

The site gives the whole run-down on the Sony service menus.

Very useful Philips sevice menu website here: http://home.hccnet.nl/m.majoor/
I'll post info on what options mean when I'm near my lovely TV again. (Away from home right now) back in a couple of weeks.

Here's a forum for various service manuals (TV's, VCR's) etc

just found out the service menu code for my 2yr old samsung widescreen w32v64ns

power off the tv with the remote
press 'display' then 'menu' then 'mute' and then power it back on again and it will be onscreen

Good to see the info coming in.

Loads of TV stuff. Bits of projector and DVD stuff.

Including what I can find from going through all the forums (will take a wee bit of time ) I should be able to build quite a good database of how to access service menus and a general "what does this thing do" section.

Once I get that lot up people will be able to let me know whats actually in the service menus (not the actual values but the layout of the menus and the parameters).

Thanks.

Fraggle,
Do you know someone who has a web site or an email address I can post a Panasonic TV 32pf10 manual in pdf format to? The file is over 5mb, but you are more than welcome to it.

Hi colesy,

Just post it to me, a 5mb file is no problem

If I can legally do it I'll put it on my website along with the other stuff.
